The Grand Wazoo
Waka/Jawaka
Roxy & Elsewhere
Make A Jazz Noise Here
Lather (disc 1)

Those are the essentials.

Of course, there is more spread out throughout his discography, particularly on Zappa New York, One Size Fits All, and The Best Band You've Never Seen.

Some others of interest would be the posthumous albums Imaginary Diseases and Wazoo, these are the live albums of Zappa's "Wazoo" bands, the latter being the full "Grand Wazoo" band, the former being the "Petite Wazoo" band. Can't miss these, as there is more new music and improv.

	The Grand Wazoo is what you're looking for. Here's a link! edit: Also, Joe's Garage (the full album) is a very very silly rock opera. But it is very good. Easy to listen to, and funny. Edited by Mushroom Sword - November 23 2011 at 01:16

	I've been lately listening to Zappa a lot, mostly hot rats. Because he has made so much and different music, it's hard for me to find the albums to listen to. So, i'm asking you to name he's best (mostly) serious prog/jazz-rock albums, so i can get forward with my listening. Thank you already.
